Neymar escapes unscathed after crashing his £240K Ferrari

Barcelona and Brazil star, Neymar, is a lucky man after escaping a crash without a scratch. The 24yr old was on his way to the training ground to join his teammates for the journey to a league game when his Ferrari 458 Italia slipped on the wet surface, skidded off the road and spun around to face oncoming traffic.

Club official, Pepe Costa came to the rescue picking the player up and ensuring that he reached the training ground in time to take the team coach to the airport. The mercurial attacker was however unable to help his team to all three points last night as Barcelona played out a draw at Real Sociedad. The result leaves them six points behind league leaders Real Madrid ahead of this coming weekend’s el clasico showdown.
